Wheelchair urgently needed: Brakpan area Adriaan Coetzee who is a former member of the SAPS and served his community for many years has now lost about 80% of his sight and has a white fleece “Cataract” that has grown over his eyes and he is unable to walk due to his joints becoming crystalized, his fingers and toes have become disfigured and pulled skew this is caused by his white blood cells eating his red blood cells. Adriaan receives a state disability pension and barely makes ends meet. Adriaan’s only goal is to have some of his sight back and be able to move around without being carried around, so that he can work again and be a productive member of society again. As he says in his own words “I can’t sit still and let time pass me by, I have a lot more to do in life than merely sitting around wasting away like this.” This man was an inspiration to many fellow SAPS Members and his community. Please, if anyone can donate a wheelchair to assist Adriaan and improve his quality of life. Please inbox us, e-mail on office.safrp@gmail.com or call Liza on 071 165 5424.
